Car Accidents in California
California sees a significant number of traffic collisions each year due to its large population and busy roads. The California Highway Patrol reported over 160,000 injury-related crashes in 2022 alone. Many of these take place in urban areas like Los Angeles, where high traffic density increases the risk of accidents at intersections and along major streets.
Knowing how crashes happen and what they lead to is vital. Below are some of the most common causes of traffic accidents across the state:
- Speeding: Driving above the speed limit is a top contributor to injury crashes. Higher speeds reduce the time drivers have to react and increase the severity of collisions.
- Distracted Driving: Whether it's texting, talking on the phone, or using GPS, distractions can pull attention away from the road for just enough time to cause a crash. Even a few seconds can be dangerous at urban intersections.
- Failure to Yield: Many collisions happen when drivers fail to yield at stop signs, lights, or while making turns. These errors often lead to side-impact crashes, which can be especially harmful to those in smaller vehicles.
- Running Red Lights: Drivers who try to beat the light often cause T-bone accidents at intersections. These incidents can result in serious injury, particularly for those sitting on the impact side.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, reaction time, and motor control. DUI-related crashes often have devastating consequences, especially when high speeds or multiple vehicles are involved.
